LaKendra Thames shattered the UCF record and qualified for the NCAA Regional in the discus with a second-place finish at the Miami Elite Invitational. Her throw of 160-feet, three inches was good for the school record. Earlier in the year, Thames broke the UCF freshman records in the shot put, discus and weight throw. The Knights will be in action at the Bulldog Limited in Athens, Ga. this weekend, starting April 20.
